The Story of Birmingham

With a booming local economy, ever-strengthening international links and more than £17 billion worth of major development schemes on its books, Birmingham is fast establishing itself as one of the most vibrant and prosperous cities not just in Europe, but the entire world.

Underpinning this growth, and in many cases acting as a catalyst for far wider private sector investment, are a number of ground-breaking developments and initiatives which truly set the city aside from all its competitors.

The Big City Plan

The most ambitious and far-reaching city-wide development project ever undertaken in the UK, the Big City plan is a masterplan that will co-ordinate tens of billions of pounds worth of physical, economic and cultural development within the city centre over the next 20 years.

Developed in consultation with leading business, political and social figures within the city, the plan will set an ambitious and challenging vision for Birmingham’s future, before plotting a route to making this ambition a reality.

Designed to deliver the world-class city local people deserve, the plan is currently going through an extensive consultation exercise which will enable the public and local businesses alike to play an active role in shaping its final form.
